Location: [unknown]
Green Township, Adams County, Ohio was formed in December of 1806 and named in honor of Gen. Nathanael Greene (the final "e" of "Greene" was dropped from the township name over time). The very first settler is believed to be Obadiah Stout, a soldier of the Revolution from New Jersey. He was first at Graham's Station in Kentucky then moved to Adams County in 1796 where he gave his name to Stouts Run. Not long after came George H. Puntenney and his father-in-law William Hamilton. Samuel Montgomery came from Ireland about the same time and settled in. George W. Colvin settled in about 1800.
